Lightbulb Best gauges to match the stock gauge

So what is the best gauge for a 05. I am looking at the Automether Phantom II gauges. What are you using?

I may be the 1st but not the last to say either the Diprocol or Isspro guages match the best, Heres mine, they are Isspro.

dipricol actually has a guage that EXACTLY matches the factory look, including the needle being exposed through the pivot point

Great looking gauge.. Nighttime lighting is excellent!

Yes!!! They match real well to the stock guages at night. Funny thing is, Auto Meter's are made here in USA and both Diprocal and Isspro's are made in China or Inda. You can't tell it though by the quality and look of them though, cause I think mine are better made than any Auto Meter guage I seen, and use metal cases and glass bezels.

Isspro gauges match perfect for me, day and night.
To hook the back lights up, pop off the head light switch panel and find the orange with black tracer wire and tap into it. Your gauges will dim with the dash lights.

If you want an exact match? Dipricol don't, because the center of the bezel is a honking big white DOT! Especially the pyro. Take a look again at the isspro's and compare to the dipricols.

You are referring to the old DiPricol, the new Optix line is awesome! Just got my EGT and 100 Boost gauge today! Nothing like the old ones.

so do the optix match better than the ISSPRO then? I am going to get the str-10 pillar and put a tranny temp there.

I was trying to decide between the optix and the ISSPRO.
